Will methods explained here work for boolean expressions?

The convenience of defining using specialised datatypes for serialising numeric operations comes from Num being a typeclass. This is not the case for Bool:

Prelude> :info Num class (Eq a, Show a) => Num a where  (+) :: a -> a -> a   ... -- Defined in GHC.Num

Prelude> :info Bool data Bool = False | True        -- Defined in GHC.Bool

If you want something like this for Bool (and other standard data types) have a look at the Awesome Prelude [1]. It is an implementation of the prelude where each data type is a type class. Erik [1] http://tom.lokhorst.eu/2010/02/awesomeprelude-presentation-video
